Kemado Records, home of The Sword, Saviours, Danava, and True Widow, has announced the signing of L.A. trio Moab. The band's debut album, "Ab Ovo," will see a August 16th release. "Ab Ovo" is "a dense, towering slab of majestic rock, compelling from the first strum to the final gong hit," according to the press release.

"Ab Ovo" was recorded almost entirely by the band members themselves at their own L.A. practice space (with the exception of “Dimensioner,” recorded by Mathias Schneeberger, known for his work with Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, and Electric Wizard). The cover artwork and layout comes courtesy of Paul Jeffrey (Pelican, Mouth of the Architect) and photographer Kyle Burns.

CATTLE DECAPITATION have announced a free 21+ show for Los Angeles, CA. They will play the Overcast Collective 3 Year Anniversary Party, which also features CAPTAIN AHAB, CROM and MOAB on the bill, on Saturday, August 30th at The Mountain Bar (473 Gin Ling Way). Admission is free, doors open at 9:00pm.
